What is it?
IBM Systems Director Navigator is the strategic management console
for IBM i
New Web based console is included in the operating system beginning
with IBM i 6.1
It uses the same Integrated Solutions Console (ISC) framework that the
Web based IBM Systems Director uses
It is considered a “Level 1” console, that is, it is used to manage just
‘this’ server
It contains all the currently Web-enabled functions of System i
Navigator (over 300 tasks)
o All Web enabled tasks are still URL addressable and can be accessed individually as servlets, or as
portlets within the new Web console

How does it compare to System i Navigator ?
IBM Systems Director Navigator for requires nothing to be installed on
your PC
o Is installed and available to use out-of-the-box in IBM i
In IBM i 6.1, IBM Systems Director Navigator for i is not a complete
replacement for System i Navigator
o There is substantial function (over 300 web-enabled functions) that have been
Web enabled as of IBM i 6.1
IBM Systems Director Navigator for i provides management function not
available in System i Navigator
o Performance Data Investigator
o High Availability Solutions Manager

IBM Power Systems
How does it compare to System i Navigator ?
IBM Systems Director Navigator for i is intended for management of only
the server where you point your Web browser.
o Management Central capabilities are not included
o Use IBM Systems Director cross-platform products for mutli system
management
Both are built from same source code for consistent functionality. Panels
look different when rendered on the Web Console
Single user can only sign in to one Web Console either
– IBM Systems Director Navigator or System i Navigator URL Advisor
Both can have functions restricted
– Systems i Navigator don’t install functions
– Web Console restrict users from specific tasks
